Yamaha DX7 vs DX27 (Or other 4-op)
      13/09/07 11:26 AM
Here's a question, can anybody say definitively what it is that makes the DX7 so much better than the rest of Yamaha's 4-op range of FM synths? I've got a DX27, and I do like it, but I always wonder if I should have a DX7 too. I've listened to a lot of sound samples, and I can't say that they sound all that dissimilar. Acoustic Grand (init1) is the only DX7 patch I've heard that the DX27 can't do as well, but it's a subtle difference.
Does that extra operator make all the difference, or is it more to do with the extra algorithms??
